With over 11,000+ successful heart, vascular, and thoracic surgeries, Dr. Abhishek R. Parmar is trusted for delivering safe, precise, and long-lasting results in valve repair and replacement procedures. His expertise in minimally invasive valve surgery, mechanical and tissue valve replacement, and complex multi-valve repair places him among the leading cardiac surgeons in Ahmedabad.
Understanding!
What is Heart Valve Surgery?
Heart valve surgery is a procedure to repair or replace one or more of the heart’s four valves—the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary valves. These valves regulate blood flow through the heart. When a valve becomes narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), it can reduce heart efficiency, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, or even heart failure.
Purpose of the procedure
- Restore normal blood flow through the heart
- Reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue
- Prevent heart failure or other complications
- Improve long-term heart function
- Enhance overall quality of life
How Heart Valve Surgery Works
The surgeon may repair the existing valve or replace it with a mechanical or tissue (biological) valve. For repair, techniques may include reshaping, patching, or supporting the valve with rings. For replacement, a prosthetic valve is sutured in place to restore proper blood flow.
Heart valve surgery is commonly performed via:
- Open-heart surgery: Traditional approach with a midline chest incision and temporary heart-lung machine support.
- Minimally invasive surgery : Smaller incisions, less trauma, faster recovery, and excellent outcomes for select cases.
